Ashley Young insists Manchester United are still “in a decent position” in their Champions League group despite their home loss to Juventus.

Juventus showed United how far behind they are in terms of trying to win European club football’s biggest as they outclassed Jose Mourinho’s side at Old Trafford to win 1-0.

United remain second in Group H with four points - two ahead of Valencia, their rivals for the second qualifying place.

United should hold their fate in their own hands going into their final group game against Gary Neville’s old side at the Mestalla on December 12 and Young remains upbeat about their chances of progressing.

“There are still plenty of points to play for in the group,” he said. “We’re in a decent position still, so there’s all to play for. There are plenty more games in the group and we need to finish strongly.”

“It was a disappointing result,” he said. “We didn’t do well enough in the first half, but I felt we improved massively in the second. We dominated after half-time and controlled the game, but it wasn’t enough.

“I think we need to approach the next game in exactly the same way.

"We need to go there, control the game, like we did in the second half, and try to win the game.”
